Question

Can anyone help me get customer role on a view in version 2.8? I have tried workcontext, and error says “workcontext does not exist in the current context”. I have the following code below, but it does not work..

@model BoardsIndexModel
@using Nop.Core.Infrastructure;
@using Nop.Services.Helpers;
@using Nop.Web.Models.Boards;
@using Nop.Core.Domain.Customers;
@using Nop.Services.Customers;


@if (Roles.IsUserInRole("Administrators"))
{
    Do that;
}
else
{
    Do this;
}

Answer 1

This is how I did it, with the help of a nice person on the nopcommerce forum:

@using Nop.Core.Domain.Customers;
@using Nop.Services.Customers;
@using Nop.Core;
@{
    bool customerHasRoleX = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<IWorkContext>().CurrentCustomer.IsInCustomerRole("Administrators");
    bool customerHasRoleY = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<IWorkContext>().CurrentCustomer.IsInCustomerRole("ForumModerators");
}

@if ((customerHasRoleX == true) | (customerHasRoleY == true)) {

}
else
{
    Response.Redirect("~/login?ReturnUrl=%2fboards");
}
